Hey everyone. This is my first post so if something's wrong with it, please don't flame
All right. Couple months ago I used the BIOS settings to overclock my PC. Here's what I have:
Windows XP SP2 w/ latest patches
Albatron K8X800 Pro 2 with 1.06a BIOS motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (ClawHammer)
1024 MB DDRAM (512MB of 3200 and 512MB of 2700)
Gigabyte NVIDIA 6800 128MB DDRAM OC 360MHz proc 730MHz mem
Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Hard Drive w/8 MB cache
350 Watt Power Supply
5 case fans / runs cool
When I tried overclocking with the BIOS setting the motherboard wouldn't POST so I had to reset my BIOS. That scares the crap out of me and I stopped playing God . 3-4 months ago (before I got my new graphics card) I downloaded and ran ClockGen and I got up to 2700 MHz (from 2,000). Amazingly, it ran all right. I didn't want to burn anything so I went down to 2,200MHz. Cool and quiet.
Couple days ago I decided to raise the bar. When I went from 2.2GHz my system kept freezing. Even if I OCed it by 1MHz.
BTW, with my PC I can't change the multipliers (Don't know if that matters or not).
Any ideas? Suggestions?
THANKS!
